Little more than a year ago I posted about the bright future of foresight linux.Well it looks like this won't happen any more.Yesterday Michael announced our decision to bury (or at least it feels like this) foresight linux.I've been involved in foresightlinux for ~ 10 years and it's hard when such a long period ends. I will miss foresight and the people that formed it.Special Thanks to Ken Vandine who started that whole thing 10+ years ago.Here is the announcement:

The Foresight Linux Council has determined that there hasbeen insufficient volunteer activity to sustain meaningful newdevelopment of Foresight Linux. Faced with the need either toupdate the project's physical infrastructure or cease operations,we find no compelling reason to update the infrastructure.

Therefore, around the end of May, the following will be shut down:* Software repositories (Foresight Linux and legacy rBuilder Online repositories)* JIRA and Confluence servers* Shared development infrastructure* Mailing lists, including these lists

Theforesightlinux.orgdomain will remain as an informal "alumniassociation" for an indefinite amount of time, along with theproject IRC channels for as long as they are in use.

Hosting the repositories in read-only mode would be non-trivial;requiring approximately 2.5TB of storage; simply moving the datawould be a substantial task. Do not assume that the repositorycontents will be retained.

The Foresight Linux Council would like to extend our thanks to theSoftware Freedom Conservancy, our corporate home, for their supportof Foresight Linux and of software freedom generally. We would alsolike to thank SAS Institute for providing physical infrastructure andhosting for the past two and a half years, as well as for offeringto refresh the infrastructure. This decision to retire ForesightLinux was entirely the council's.

To those of us who have been a part of this community for upto ten years, this feels a little like a death. If you wish tocelebrate the life of this project, please discuss soon on theforesight-devel (at) lists.foresightlinux.orglist or on IRC on thefreenode.net#foresight-devel channel when and how to do so.
